INFLUENCE OF PRINCE2 ON PERFORMANCE

PRINCE2, or ‘Projects IN Controlled Environments’ Certification, is able to completely transform the performance of Project Managers (PM) to the extent that the whole Project becomes unrecognizably successful. The impact of PRINCE2 on your work performance is the subject of this Article below.

The Topics

PRINCE2 Certification imparts the knowledge every Project Manager needs, in the form of Topics. The Topics that are covered are:

Closing a Project (CP) Process
Managing a Stage Boundary (SB) Process,
Managing Product Delivery (MP) Process,
Controlling a Stage (CS) Process,
Initiating a Project (IP) Process,
Starting Up a Project (SU) Process,
Progress (PG) Theme,
Directing a Project (DP),
Change (CH) Theme,
Plans (PL) Theme,
Risk (RK) Theme,
PRINCE@ to the Project Environment,
Principles and Tailoring,
Overview,
Quality (QU) Theme, and
Business Case (BC) Theme

Exam training from an accredited PRINCE2 certification training provider, and subsequent certification in PRINCE2 as well as Practitioners can help the Project Manager understand, not only the Project, but also the Theme and the Process.

The Benefits

The six main Benefits of PRINCE2 can be visualized as follows:
  • Educated Decision-making: PRINCE2 ensures informed decision making.The roles and responsibilities are clearly delineated, and a process model recommended in advance, which, if adhered to, makes for smooth sailing of the project. 
  • Facing Risks & Challenges: PRINCE2 has a pronounced Risk Management Strategy. Responses to risk and challenge demands can be planned in advance, by planning and embedding certain strategies that can come into play when necessary. 
  • Cost Control: Project Management devolves around cost control, and PRINCE2 imparts knowledge on the viability of a project with regard to its business targets and imperatives. Cost control is an integral part of a project, and whether a project sinks or swims depends very much on this one factor.  
  • Clarity on Project Deliverable: When this approach isincorporated in a project, the important strategies and deliverables are planned out at the very initial stage. Its relevance is studied by the PRINCE2 Practitioner so that the job responsibilities and their associated works can be laid out from the beginning, giving absolute clarity to the deliverables of the Project.
  • Project Teamwork: One of the keybenefits of this training is the ability to enhance Teamwork, especially with HR and IT supporting teams, and work in close association with them. Implementing and embedding the methodology in a project makes communicating with external agencies and stakeholders that much more smooth and streamlined.
  • Customer Satisfaction: Empathy with Customer needs, with relevance to Customer environment, and converting the requirement to quality expectations control with reference to the customer, leads to customer satisfaction. And this is one of the main benefits that training in PRINCE2 imparts to the PM. It helps the PM to understand and build relationships with the customers. This enhances Customer Satisfaction, and builds the reputation of the Organization.  

And Finally

The effect and impact of PRINCE2 on your work performance has been studied above, and should provide guidance on all Projects to Project Managers.
